Update: Raw Almond Cheese

Ok. Could have been worse. Tastes good, yielded about 2 cups, recipe said 6-8. I think quite honestly the house was too cold while the almond mixture was rising and aerating. Recipe also said to keep it in a warm place, so perhaps this is a dish best prepared when the ambient temp is a little warmer.

I spiced it up with lemon juice, basil, garlic and a little salt, and the consistency is remarkably similar to a ricotta cheese, even if the overall flavor is not quite there. However, this is the sort of food that is generally part of soma larger dish, and I don\'t think the absence of real dairy will be noticeable in a raw lasagna with a really flavorful marinara.

Pics will be forthcoming.
